What Mitch McConnell could do

I'm not a Mitch McConnell fan.  Kim Strassel, however, makes a good case that he did an outstanding job keeping judicial slots open under President Obama and continues his winning streak in getting the same slots filled with conservative jurists under President Trump.  It probably shows what he could be doing on other conservative issues if he actually cared about any of them.  In any case, I'm glad he cares about this one.

    I don't share much of the disdain for McConnell that other conservatives have. Repeatedly, he's produced 48-49 Republican votes out of the 52 nominally available--a success rate of around 93%. I don't know of anyone who could have delivered votes from the remaining three or four who are, variously, Me First (Collins), ego-driven (EverPure Paul), or Maverick First McCain.

    Eight months into Trump and only 8 judges approved, 50 in the pipeline....

    Looks like McConnell simply doesn't move judicial appointments at all--whether Obozo OR Trump.
